Academics

Encinal Junior Senior High serves a diverse group of students, and our academic programs reflect that diversity. We promote academic rigor, in-depth study, challenging coursework, and a range of study that complements a variety of student interests. The curriculum is college preparatory, filled with honors and Advanced Placement (AP) classes and allows for the individual progression of students’ aptitudes and interests during their stay at EJSH.

The high school education program is structured so that every student will fulfill graduation and college entrance requirements. Our diverse educational programs ensure that students are competitive candidates for top colleges and universities.

Athletics

The Encinal High School Athletic Department will create and foster an environment that provides equitable opportunities for student-athletes to enrich their high school experience through participation on athletic teams, and is an integral part of their educational experience. The experience will provide a personalized learning environment for student-athletes to develop their leadership potential. Win or lose, the EHS Athletic Department will encourage student-athletes to provide a winning effort, exhibit sportsmanship, and demonstrate respect for all.

Activities

At Encinal we strongly believe that the best students are the whole students: those who passionately engage in their academics, their athletics and their activities. Through these three areas, connections are built and “school” becomes a place where students feel as though they have a place, where they belong. We STRONGLY encourage our students to be involved in student life at Encinal.

JET BLAST ~ WEEK OF 10/15/17

What a week! Our thoughts are with all who have been affected by the fires in northern California. A HUGE thank you to all those who have donated to Ms. Frey’s caravan of items for the fire victims, and also to those students trying to secure chrome books for the seniors at Cardinal Newman so they can work on their college applications. The heart of this community never ceases to amaze.

At the time of this writing, the football games scheduled for Friday are tentatively rescheduled for Monday, pending air quality approval. The JV team will play at 4:00 pm and the Varsity team will play at 6:30pm. Stay tuned here for updates.

With the potential for two additional football games, and homecoming, it is going to be an amazingly busy week!!

Seniors! Tuesday is the last day to order your cap and gown. Jostens will be at Encinal at lunch in front of the Media Center to get the final orders. Don’t miss this last opportunity to order your caps and gowns!

Visits from Colleges: Simmons College will be here on Tuesday for a presentation at lunch in the College & Career Center. Simmons is a small liberal arts school located in beautiful Boston, Massachusetts.

UC Berkeley will be here 5^th period on Tuesday in the College & Career Center. This session is specifically for seniors planning on applying to UCB and seniors must get their passes ahead of time to attend this session as space is limited.

School Play ~ A Midsummer’s Night Dream: The Encinal High School Drama Department is presenting Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" as a special fundraiser to help support the Alameda Food Bank. "Midsummer" will play Oct. 21, 22, 28 and 29 at 2pm in the Encinal Amphitheater (aka the student parking lot!). Admission is free, but donations will be asked for to help provide food for the hungry in Alameda. This continues a tradition of using theater to help fund local non-profits going back many years. Last spring a donation was made to FAAS (Friends of the Alameda Animal Shelter) and several years ago "Project Open Hand" was the recipient of a contribution. "Midsummer" is Shakespeare's most popular comedy and is suited for audiences of all ages. Come see actor Jets from grades 6-12 this and next weekend.
